Why not cook a VillainROM 12 + (12.1 / 13) !?

Thankx for the suggestions - looking again for VillainROM (i'm a donator)!

I'm impressed and feel backed in my plan to downgrade to 2.1 sense Rom.

My question now is:

How do we can make "VillainROM 12" or other "2.1" Roms more stripped and tweaked?

What do U recommend?

- FlyKernel 12 / Implement Kernel tweaks.

- OpenGL

- EGL

- Gallery 3D

- Latest Gapps

- Implement HTC Hero OTA update 3.36.405.1

So - why not cook a VillainROM 12 + (12.1) !?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
I am trying to implement this OTA into VR12.1.

Will play with the OpenGL things too
[Hero, G2 Touch General] o_tiger:
Jahooo! *perfectly happy*

Which kernel do U include into 12.1?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rdejager:
So far as I know a modded version of FlyKernel 11C Cuss 12A is buggy, for me it is unstable and I dont like it. now running 11C on Villainrom and well it runs smoother then 12A
[Hero, G2 Touch General] o_tiger:
@rdejager : Do U have modded this kernel? What else do U have "tweaked" from VR12?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] BuzzFuzz:
Same story as u. Hero and Tab

Now i have

Rom is faster and works like a charm. I was just deleted some stuff (apps...)from Rom before flash. From my point of view - recommend
[Hero, G2 Touch General] biggary:
Im too now running VillainRom 12 with 11c-BFS and v12 rosie theme, bloody love it :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rdejager:
Pulsar had a modded version of Flykernel 11C in his Froydvillain release. I was refearing to that.

What did I tweak. well the lockscreen, battery Icon, and I removed like 90% of the apps. and I updated EGL. And well I love it.

Now I am on Flykernel 12A M652-M176-noatime

I got awesome battery life.

I went back to Ginger for a test. and well no that was a no go....

The speed in Villainrom is insane.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] o_tiger:
I can agree! Installed: FlyKernel-12a-M691-m352-noatime

I'm happy now!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rdejager:
RCMix is nice and all, but still even VR12 is bloated but RCMix, man... even if you remove all that crap. You can never get the speed of VR12.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] GZFan:
@rdjager: How did you update the EGL in VR12?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rdejager:
Added the EGL file in it and changed the build.prob and added a line, you can look in the sensehero B5 topic, I wrote it down in there, and the file is there to.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Archie The Leper:
Been a while since I tried a 2.1 ROM, but thought what the hell, amazed (at the speed and battery life) is not the word.

I'd forgotten how smooth these got in the end, good work all

FlyKernel-12a-M652-m352-noatime, really old Hero
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sjknight413:
preeeeetty sure villainrom 12 just seems smooth cause your coming from 2.3 roms. i switched from gingerbread back to froyo [villain 1.7.3] and i cannot believe how smooth scrolling in launcherpro is, its unreal.

just tried going back to vr12 and sense is still as laggy as it ever was, its horrid.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rdejager:
Well I am a seasoned rom tester, And well some Froyo roms may be nice and all, but sense is smoother for me. I think you did something wrong, and for me, froyo has crappy battery life, and I am not even going to start on the GPS speed lock XD
[Hero, G2 Touch General] inorde:
I seem to be coming back to Sense every now and then. It's so much better in an overal interface.

Villain is the only 2.1 Sense ROM I ever used (donated as well), and it still kicks ass.

In my experience:

- Villain 2.1 is awesome and overall the best looking and complete ROM

- FroydVillain 1.7 is the fastest and best performing ROM I've ever used, battery life was awesome for me and GPS worked flawlessly

- Cronos 2.3 is the only 2.3 ROM I've tried so far. It works but Froyo suits the Hero better. 2.3 doesn't have much to offer and performance so far is meh.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
I was getting only part a day out my hero on Froyd (my froyo ROM), but I get much longer on Ninpo's VR12 ROM. :)

It's like night and day. I used to have to charge at lunch time from a PC, but now I have the cable, but it never gets used. It can do me the longest day from before 8am to after 6pm, and still has power remaining. My usage hasn't changed either, in fact it could have increased... Made a few more phone calls recently that are perhaps 2 mins long.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rdejager:
Now on stock with root and the usuall blabla. and the latest OTA of last week.

May sound crazy, but my batterylife is INSANE.. been unplugged for a full day, and made some calls and stuff, checked mail, and still its at 100% on the meter.

So I am going to stick with this for now, cuss its awesome XD. Speed is not optimal but fine for me.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dac0908:
+ Power menu with reboot options

Yeah, that would be great! Then it's up to us users just to remap that useless right button into something more usable... like camera.

Tried Cronos 2.1.4.1 and it's smooooooth. Fairly updated, no need to reflash kernel and there is JIT patch for it, will try some day. Works very nice, never had Angry Birds working so fluid and for some reason this game was completely ignored by VR12 like it's not there.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] o_tiger:
Rosie Remap - Sense 2.1

There is [MOD] Rosie Remap - Sense 2.1: These mods remap the right hand Rosie button to other apps. You can mapp the Camera for example. This works perfect for me with VR12.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Dac0908:
Yeah, I know :). Works on Cronos too, did that on both. So it's for all Sense ROM's, I guess.

What was going on in design department when they left that "add" shortcut there -- when a longpress on empty space homescreen does the same thing. It's not like you do it everyday :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] o_tiger:
I totally agree with the quote from rdejager @ villainrom.co.uk/forum :

Darn im getting known everywhere XD
[Hero, G2 Touch General] o_tiger:
-> Hope my quote was o.k. for U!?

-> I just agree & think Ure absolutely right! >>> 2 thumbs up !

I think (as example & my personal suggestion) VR13 is a "child" of such - important - words! Not?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Yep, once you get quoted in random threads on XDA, you know you've made it in life :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zulu1:
After using 2.3 for a long time now I actually feel that I need something that is fast.

I don't want those lags in the appdrawer.

I sometimes even had small lags on the homescreen.

So do you recommend going back to 2.1 or is there a rom out there with 2.2 or even 2.3 (can't imagine it but...maybe there even is one)?

I really want something fast and smooth :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bluepinkpanther:
Use ADW EX Launcher ;) Works perfectly on 2.3
[Hero, G2 Touch General] o_tiger:
VR13 works really fast & stable! No more lags! I'm loving it!

@zulu1: Try it & U will feel the "real Hero-ROM" power! Report back! :-)

Missing features

I do not miss any 2.2 / 2.3 features at all!

Missing apps:

- chrome2phone - just a "nice to have" for me.

Do you miss something?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] o_tiger:
Rosie Remap - for VillainROM v13

that's what I am using :(

Ok I'm going to flash VR13

Do you have any kernel recommondation especially with VR13 ?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] o_tiger:
Use the kernel that comes with the ROM. Will try FlyKernel later.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rdejager:
Well made it in life XD that is a little to much to say, that if I get quoted on XDA from VR that I made it XD..

would be cool though.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcuk31:
I have plugged my phone into my surround sound system using the headphone socket but the music out volume is very very quiet. Tried in the car also connecting it to the car stereo but again very quiet. Plugging my ipod in this way both times and the music is perfectly loud. Is this a bug or does anyone know a solution. I was going to buy a new car stereo so i can stream music to it via bluetooth. Will this also be ridiculously quiet??
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
I'm guessing that you've already tried turning the volume up?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
When i plug my DHD into my dolby 3.1 speakers, its that loud i can make my house shake lol
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcuk31:
Yes I have turned the volume right up.

Are you being serious that it's loud?? Is that because your using an unofficial rom?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
I thought as much, I'm using CM7, but I have used the stock HTC ROM to listen to music on my HiFi. And there were no problems with the volume.

Are you using the same 3.5mm jack to connect your phone to your car & HiFi at home?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcuk31:
Yeah using the same 3.5mm jack on th phone but different lead each time. As I say with iPod it's fine. Through headphones the volume is fine and too loud when turned right up but it's when connecting to other audio equipment it's just so quiet and very poor quality.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy:
That's odd, sadly short of a factory reset, which probably won't fix it anyway. I've no more ideas
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkieSA:
I also have the same problem, I've plugged mine into my car stereo and it does not go loud enough, I'm wondering if it could be a fault.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tcuk31:
Maybe a problem with the latest firmware update that they pulled (2.2.1) as I didn't try it before then I'm not sure. Thanks for your replys so far. Any othe thoughts??
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Namit1994:
Okay, I have Artifex'd Legend rom and it is old and uses the /system/sd method to store apps. How can I remove that and add firerat's apps2ext?
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
Yes, at last it's here. This is a basic port from the honeycomb full SDK and more doesn't work than does work, unfortunately.

What Works:

Touchscreen,

All buttons but home,

Network,

Root,

What Doesn't Work:

Anything that has fragments horizontally, aka the Settings.apk in Honeycomb

Sensors,

Wifi,

Sound,

Camera,

New lockscreen (Reverts to gingerbread style),

New launcher (Reverts to gingerbread style),

New notification bar (Reverts to froyo style),

But hey, it's the first wildfire port and many said it wouldn't happen :p

Screenshots:

Changelog:

Alpha 2

Fixed Root

Changed Settings.apk to Gingerbread version so you can gaze upon SOME data

Modified build.prop to be more custom for this ROM

Added audio for ringtones etc except they do nothing so far

Alpha 1

Initial Release

Busybox

Root

Bootanimation

Thanks to HCDRJacob for all his help including fixes for touchscreen and network and his kernel which this ROM uses.

Poof!

Alpha 2 - Now on mediafire
[Wildfire Android Development] Sgt-Hartley:
Nice. But I think ill wait for more comparability. I hope the sceptics are proved wrong.
[Wildfire Android Development] -Howard-:
Nice lmao wasnt expecting this to happen, bet it laggy as hell if well, ill see if i can get anything to work tomorrow haha anywsy good job dude :)
[Wildfire Android Development] Sgt-Hartley:
I just wish I had enough knowledge on android to contribute but a bit of a novice ATM lol. Shame really would love to help.

[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
Dropbox is being superslow, will post when the upload is successful

Also , people that say your novices, keep trying, this is my first rom
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
The rom has landed....I mean uploaded
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
I wonder if this will ever end up as a fully working rom and as a daily driver :o
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
Not as an sdk port but I will attempt a source port when source for honeycomb is released
[Wildfire Android Development] ramdroid77:
I would be very interesting if you could write up some kind of diary about this process.
[Wildfire Android Development] nhnt11:
Rather than honeycomb which really won't suit our screen size and doesn't have many worthwhile new features (at least for wildfire), I was thinking of making a proper gingerbread AOSP rom with proper LDPI support.... I have holidays coming up and nothin to do :) It would be a great learning experience too, wanna join in?

OR maybe honeycomb would be fine too :P
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
It is something I have thought of, but, with absolutely zero knowledge, the thought has remained just that, a thought. :p
[Wildfire Android Development] -Howard-:
I do believe that Warriorvibhu is working on an aosp gingerbread rom but has some issues ;) he could always use help i bet just a thought :)

anyway time to see what this looks like on the phone lmao

/waits for force closes :p
[Wildfire Android Development] nhnt11:
Oh I didn't know. Just saw it in his thread. Maybe I'm a little behind because I don't really look at sense threads :D
[Wildfire Android Development] nunosilva10:
That is a good idea, you can all stick together (devs) and do a different thing from cyanogenmod with gingerbread for exemple :)

Or work together with honeycomb or honeyfire :D
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
I think honeycomb will be fine if modified, fragments need rearranging and such, apps from gingerbread will need to added such as phone but all in all I think it can be successful.
[Wildfire Android Development] jwils96:
Someone should buy adeadrat a wildfire :)
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
Root is borked in alpha 1, adding some sounds although you can't hear them yet, fixing root, modified build.prop, gingerbread settings so you can see info although it doesn't really work, alpha 2 asap with those changes. Oh and some screenshots on their way. Just got 5 MFLOPS with NO OC.
[Wildfire Android Development] nunosilva10:
If you are using the jacob's kernel it comes pre-overclocked with 768 mhz :)
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
I using the one that comes in CM7, if thats pre OC'd then yes and ignore the NO OC, make that full OC :P
[Wildfire Android Development] djdevine2:
WoW well done! Hope to see the doubters proved wrong! Hope an AOSP port can come soon(ish) looks promising for such an early stage!

Good luck with this!

[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
Not much to show yet, next update will be if and when I get a settings.apk fully working, that may or may not be an AOSP port, depends if it can be done without the source, thanks for all the support.
[Wildfire Android Development] -Howard-:
I had a quick go with this its not too bad for an sdk port lol I'd stay on it longer but I.need all the phone functions pretty much all the time. But all I can say is good job.
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
Thanks, working on settings now, damn slow AOSP push, it's a two min fix with access to the xml lol, nothing can decompile honeycomb apks, yet.
[Wildfire Android Development] zamps:
had a go earlier today, i agree that it is good for an sdk port :P cant wait til the source is available, i have a feeling this could be good :P
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
Well, I'm setting up my build enviroment now ready, once source is released I'll be on it. Still no joy with settings.
[Wildfire Android Development] zamps:

Hmm, I was 0.0 when I saw honey+wildfire.. wildhoney? Haha. QUIte shock when it run on wildfire.
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
Maybe, what have you done in this kinda thing before, all im concerned about is keeping in sync with each other.
[Wildfire Android Development] nhnt11:
Well not much, but gotta start somewhere right? I've been programming since 7th grade so wanna see if I can do something. Maybe it would be more fun to work separately and share things if we need help, etc.

Edit: or maybe ill be asking u for help... lol if u don't mind that is. :D
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
Well, lets see how it goes hehe, synchronization and communication are the two points that concern me, but again, a first for me too. However working alone and sharing patches and such could work better, although, no point reinventing the wheel, us both doing a honeycomb ROM would be.
[Wildfire Android Development] nhnt11:
Exactly why I asked you, I was planning on doing it but there would be no point if we both did it... we could always setup a git and sync with it like how cm works... I need to do some research :D

Edit: then again, that may not be feasible either

hey,

when i give you a tip :)

set in build.prop

ro.sf.lcd_density =

to 80 or lower. then you will have working launcher2, lockscreen and full honeycomb ui?

i ported the sdk to the g1 ;)

[Wildfire Android Development] lukky19:
dude I love you :) still aill wait for some working version ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] zFr3eak:
tell it to the op. i will link me out and went back to my thread lol ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
The biggest issue with density 80 is the size, on wildfire it'll be tiny and laggy because of the 3d ui in full honeycomb, the idea of this port is to adapt honeycomb to the wildfire, not have the tablet ui.

[Wildfire Android Development] nhnt11:
Yeah, ben was super upset about this.

I sorta expected this though.

Bold move by Google.
[Wildfire Android Development] ramdroid77:
it might be a bad move for custom ROMs, but a good move for the Android tablet market in general. device makers are no longer able to sell half-assed android tablets. android 2.x is uninteresting now, HC not available for them until it's finished and working smooth on all kind of devices.
[Wildfire Android Development] nhnt11:
Exactly. That's why I said bold move. I actually support this.

Anyway, we'll get 2.4 sooner or later and that will have all the goodness :D
[Wildfire Android Development] bpye:
I'm a little....pissed, I don't see google's issue really, the only thing I can think of is people like CyanogenMod would get proper phone compatibility first.
[Wildfire Android Development] ramdroid77:
off topic, sorry, but I thought 2.4 is now called 2.3.3, and the HC on phones will be 3.1

Just look at the API levels: 2.3.3 is 10 and 3.0 is 11 - there's no more room for a 2.4
[Wildfire Android Development] nhnt11:
Eh? I thought 2.4 is going to be the HC/Ginger combo for phones? ice cream sandwich, anyone?
[Wildfire Android Development] kevin2516:
You are right. :p, still called gingerbread. :D
[Wildfire Android Development] nhnt11:
oh yeah 2.4 is that "new" version of gingerbread... so I guess Ice Cream Sandwich will be 2.5? or 3.x? We'll have to wait and see :D
